The Badgers are Back in Town!

 
Nov 5, 2006
 

Forget the boys, the badgers are back in Macclesfield town!

Recently, sightings of our monochrome friends have been reported around Macclesfield. So much so in fact, that the BBC have filmed a short report on the special residents of the silk town.

The badgers are certainly causing a stir - nature enthusiasts are most likely thrilled at the prospect at Macclesfield being home of the protected species, but for those involved in the huge redevelopment plans for the town, the creatures are potentially very pesky!

If it is found that the badgers have set up camp in the centre, then special licences will be needed to move their sett - a possible interference for the £100 million project in the town.
